📖 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab an 8x8 inch baking dish and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. This prevents the crisp from sticking and makes serving easier.
2. In a big mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears and cranberries. Toss them gently to mix. No need to be too forceful – we want to keep those pear slices intact.
3. In a separate small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the pears and cranberries. The lemon juice helps balance the sweetness and prevents the fruit from browning.
4. In another mixing bowl, prepare the almond flour topping. Combine the almond flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The key here is to get a nice, crumbly texture – not a wet paste.
5. Sprinkle the almond flour topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the entire surface for a beautiful, golden-brown crust.
6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent the topping from burning.
7. Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly indulgent treat. Or if you're feeling extra fancy, try a sprinkle of chopped pecans!
